Tour was conducted in both languages (Spanish & English). Wished it was totally English. However kudos have to be given to the guide for trying to make sure everyone has their fair share of commentary & attention. Both Salamanca & Avila are highly visit- worthy.

Já conhecia as cidades, mas elas ficaram muito mais lindas com a explicação da história no relato apaixonado pelo seu trabalho feito pelo guia Nacho/ Ignácio! Muito obrigada, Nacho! Minha amiga Ana e eu desejamos voltar para o passeio mais prolongado e que tenhamos a mesma sorte de termos um guia apaixonado pelo que faz! Parabéns e obrigada por todo o conhecimento dividido conosco!

A very well organized tour, great time management especially considering how far is Salamanca from Madrid (2:40hrs) our guide Khan was excellent and provided us with a great background on the fascinating history of these two towns. We had around 1 and half hour free time in each city. The tour started early around 7:45, before reaching the first stop Salamanca we stopped at a restaurant in gas station to have some quick breakfast coffee. Then the guide took us for a short walking tour and left us at Cathedral to continue on our own. We then drove to Avila and spent there around 2 hours. We finished around 5 clivk and were back in Madrid around 6:30.
